even if lebron is the best player on the planet and one of the best of all time itll be really hard for miami to win a 4 peat if dwyane keeps getting injured like that.

but if you put current miami in the eastern conference of the early 2000s? they get to the finals every year. ffs how is this not a stronger era than last decade is beyond me

i dnt buy this weak era BS either... but i dnt think Miami Heat (specifically, due to lack of interior size) would have ANY chance against a prime Shaq or a prime TD team, and both dominated last decade. Just my 2 cents.

anyway i'd love to see Heat 4-peating

they have a chance against 2003 Spurs. let TD get his, concentrate on ur rotations to the perimeter players. robinson wouldnt be consistent. if lebron and wade's jumpshot is going then they win, otherwise they lose.

I know it's off-topic, but i can't understand how people say that CP3 is a top 5 player in the nba.

17 points and 10 assists on 48 FG% isn't worth of top 5 for me. And don't come with that floor general or that clippers are much better with him. Of course they are better, i'm not saying he isn't a good player, but not top 5.

If kobe for example was willing to pass, he could put 17 and 10 without problems. Wade had a 21-5-5 on 52% FG as a second option and people are saying he is done.

its going to be very difficult for the heat to 4peat. they will be lucky if they 3peat. they might have missed that boat with 2011 loss. at this point they have played deep into june 3 years in a row. they have to be tired. plus you have trades that happen, new super teams are formed, upsets happen. I don't think they even make the finals next year

How is that trolling. Bulls have given the heat a little problem here and there but there has never really been a rivalry in the big 3 era. Heat pretty much always have the bulls number. Especially come playoff time.

The Heat beat us in the 11' playoffs by a grand total of 8pts. for the entire series. In the 13' playoffs, we had, quite possibly the most depleted roster in the playoffs.

8-2 don't mean shit to me, if you don't put it into context. 8-2 looks bad, but this isn't boxing, where you're stuck being you, and no matter what you do, you just can't beat a certain guy. We have the luxury of adding a few pieces, and changing the entire dynamic of our team.

There is this thing called competition. And when competition gets fierce, when there is MORE of it, the "best" teams don't appear as dominant, because they aren't.

Back in the 80's you literally had 2 teams, and that was it. Celtics and Lakers were going to win every year (Piston's snuck one in the 80's)

The more a sport grows, the more competitors are involved, the harder it is to remain dominant. For example, look at poker. Back when tournaments had 1,000 entrants, it wasn't as hard to have the best players winning multiple tournaments. Fast forward now, to a much more competitive game, and the same players who were once so dominant, simply can't be. Because of a more rigid level of competition.

Back in day, half the NBA would make the playoffs but only 2 teams were worthy of winning it all the way. It would be like if todays NBA had 8 teams total lol

I'm surprised you didn't know that as competition evolves, it is much harder to be a consistent dominant force.

Lol come on man. Hyperbole I assume. When is the last time a team 4 peated? Boston in the 60s? I'm sure you are just trying to cope with another heat title and downgrade the league, but a four peat is beyond unlikely.
